Chapter 238-08: "Tokyo Resurrection Society"

"The shrine is not open for visitors today? I didn't receive any related information in advance. Please ask Sakata Miyaji to come out to see me now."

A middle-aged man with a dignified posture frowned and looked at the priest who was blocking the way of the Soul Summoning Society with an unhappy expression.

The priest showed a bitter smile and did not dare to offend the man in front of him. After all, this man's father was enshrined in this shrine. In fact, the clergy of this shrine were just a foil. The real controllers were actually this group of right-wingers. Various gatherings and activities were often held here, which was like their base camp.

But today's situation is indeed special.

"Lord Matsui, Chief Priest Sakata is indeed unable to spare time for the time being. Moreover, it is the Special Affairs Bureau that is in charge of closing the shrine today. Their people will be here soon, and we have no way to refuse." The second half of the sentence was said by the priest as he moved a little closer and lowered his voice.

Matsui Yoshiyuki stared at the priest for a while, then looked towards the shrine: "What are those guys from the Special Affairs Bureau planning to do now?"

Although he was very unhappy, he really didn't want to offend the Special Affairs Bureau because of such a small matter. There was no need to do so.

He gave a look to the subordinate next to him, who understood what he meant, took out a business card and politely handed it to the priest.

"I am the secretary of Master Matsui, Yoshikawa Ei, and you should know that the Soul Calling Society has always been a very important place for the Matsui family. Master Matsui, as the head of the Matsui family, is extremely filial and comes to worship every month. So, if you know the reason, you can contact me at any time. I will not let you down in terms of hard work fees."

"Of course, of course. If there is any news, I will inform Master Matsui immediately." The priest nodded.

Matsui nodded with satisfaction and led a group of people out of the shrine gate. Along the way, he looked at some enthusiastic young people wearing old military uniforms, marching in military steps, and cheering each other. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the unhappiness just now was quickly swept away.

Very good, only a country full of vitality like this can have a future.

"Change the venue of the gathering to avoid wasting time. Humph, using extraordinary people in these ordinary places is a waste of resources. As Chinese people, we should obey official orders and strive for corresponding interests and status for the country in the international arena. In this great change, we should become a top-notch country. As long as we regain the right to speak in the international community, history can be rewritten. Why do we need to be so frustrated now?"

"How can the short-sighted people in the Special Affairs Bureau compare with the long-term vision of Master Matsui? This is too much of an insult to them, haha."

"Yoshikawa, notify me as soon as the Soul Calling Society reopens, and I will prepare a new batch of offerings."

"Yes."

Not long after Matsui left, a row of several Special Affairs Bureau cars were checked by the gate-keeping priest and parked in the parking lot.

The one who got out of the car and led the way was Takeshi Noguchi.

He first glanced at the statue of Omura Masujiro in the center, then turned his head to look at the young man in military uniform who was making quite a noise outside, with an expressionless face.

There are such people at every time, even every day, and it is not surprising. As long as they do not break the law or discipline, Noguchi will not make too many comments.

Fengchuan took a closer look and said sarcastically, "I hope they can have this kind of momentum to charge forward when they encounter the polluters."

"Senior Fengchuan, wasn't there a proposal last time to move the sacrificed supernatural beings into the Soul Summoning Society?" A member of Fengchuan's team asked curiously.

"Forget it, I don't pledge allegiance to the Emperor." Toyokawa was not impressed. "After I die, the world has nothing to do with me. I don't need any so-called offerings. If you want to ease the relationship, just do something practical. Do you really think anyone cares about this broken place?"

The boys were chattering about the recent conflicts and cooperation with the traditional faction. It would not be accurate to say that they were the key Z, after all, they could more or less influence the decision-making direction of the extraordinary faction. On the other side of the convoy, the team led by Chiharu Tashiro seemed very quiet. The five of them were basically discussing some trivial matters.

"It's just a mission, don't think too much about it." Chiharu Tashiro, who was in her thirties, gently comforted Izumi Ringo beside her and touched her head.

Jingquan recovered from his distraction, with his usual smile on his face: "Tashiro-senpai, I'm fine, it won't affect my work."

Tashiro didn't say much. She knew clearly that in Jingquan's heart, the first person who killed her sister was of course the Mother Goddess, but the second one was probably as bad as the first one, that is the Japanese government, or to be more precise, that group of traditional guys.

After such a huge disaster, with the loss of territory, civilian casualties, and countless property losses, they actually wanted to solve it by stepping down? Even the culprit, the Minister of Defense, is still in office. If it weren't for the pressure from the extraordinary faction, I'm afraid he wouldn't even let go of the position of Director of the Special Affairs Bureau.

Who invented this inequality: admitting mistakes and apologizing ≠ taking responsibility and stepping down? !
Fortunately, Jingquan has not shown any tendency to retaliate against society in the past two years. He is very concerned about the case and cleaning up the polluters, but he will actively avoid tasks related to the traditional faction.

Today's mission is barely related to the traditionalists, at least it requires dealing with them.

Tadashi also asked for her opinion, and she unexpectedly agreed.

However, it has been a long time since we have seen a mission that requires the dispatch of four extraordinary teams at once, and they are all elite teams led by the "old man". Of course, this is also because the Spiritual Recalling Society is located in Chiyoda District, which is relatively close to the headquarters. If any emergency really occurs, they will still have time to rush back.

"Saga-senpai? Are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's okay."

Saga Toshiya withdrew his gaze from the Soul Calling Society, his smile was as warm as a spring breeze, but there seemed to be some worry hidden between his brows.

The Noguchi Takeshi Direct Team, the Toyokawa Combat Team, the Tashiro Combat Team, the Saga Demon Countermeasures Team, four extraordinary teams plus several logistics support team members, all wearing the Special Affairs Bureau uniforms, look quite majestic, which makes outsiders feel overwhelmed. Just looking at them gives people a strong sense of oppression, which makes people feel dry in the mouth.

"Welcome, I'm Gon-guji of the Tokyo Shrine, and I'm Yokoyama." An old man came to greet them with several shrine staff.

"Noguchi Takeshi, Chief of the Special Affairs Bureau's Operations Division."

"Prince Chief Sakata is currently clearing the target location according to your requirements. I think it is almost completed. Would you like to go to the teahouse first or visit the Yushukan?" Yokoyama and his group glanced at everyone calmly. They did not seem to be fawning on them just because they were extraordinary people. Overall, they behaved neither humble nor arrogant.

"Wait a moment."

Noguchi did not choose any of the options, but looked at his watch and looked up at the sky.

Everyone in the shrine also looked up curiously.

Unfortunately, apart from the not-so-scorching sunlight in the early morning, there were only white clouds dotting the blue sky and birds flying in the wind, but there was nothing unusual to be seen.

"Ahem, boss, look at the door." Toyokawa quietly walked to Noguchi and poked him gently.

Noguchi looked toward the door and saw a group of people in white robes crossing the street.

"."

It was obvious that they were members of the Supreme Prayer Group. Their white robes were more conspicuous than the black robes of the Holy Infant Society, but no one among them cared about this.

But doesn't Inagaki Miki like to fly every time she appears? She also doesn't like to wear shoes, floating barefoot all day long, and sometimes even appears at the battle scene in slippers, and after a seemingly intense battle, she doesn't even take off her slippers. "Maybe, today's event is more formal?" Toyokawa said hesitantly.

It doesn't seem like good news that Miki Inagaki, who has always been informal, can become serious.

Besides, Noguchi knew very well what kind of past this shrine carried.

In real life, multiplying two negatives will not give a positive; it will only lead to a worse result.

"By the way, boss, can't you tell me what it is?" Fengchuan asked anxiously. It was not common to have such an experience of arriving at the destination without knowing what to do.

"I only know a rough idea. It's related to the integration of the Mother Goddess." Noguchi was telling the truth.

It all started a few days ago.

When the moon was full, Miki Inagaki helped deal with a riot of moon polluters. As normal etiquette, he needed to thank Miki Inagaki, even if it was over the phone. Although the latter had said that she did not need others' thanks, Noguchi Takeshi, who is now the deputy director of the Special Affairs Bureau, had to assume the due etiquette. After all, he represented the entire Special Affairs Bureau.

But after she called to thank him the next day, Inagaki Miki suddenly said seriously that she had received a supreme revelation and needed the assistance of the Special Affairs Bureau and wanted to meet with him.

Noguchi would naturally not neglect it. Moreover, since the second anti-demon joint conference was held, the Heaven Node has clearly stated that it stands on the side of the Supreme Saint, confirming the speculation that the emergence of the Divine Grace Warlock may be related to the Supreme.

So to a certain extent, Miki Inagaki can also represent the heaven node.

When they met, Inagaki directly stated that he entered the heavenly kingdom of the Supreme Being while praying and meditating, and received supreme revelation. He knew that the Mother Goddess Unity was now planning to use the sinful souls of the Tokyo Resurrection Society to strengthen itself. If successful, it might lead to the fall of the entire Japan and turn it into a complete desert like Iki Island.

Therefore, she needed the cooperation of the Special Affairs Bureau to seal off the Soul Summoning Society, and then let her conduct an on-site investigation. She also gave Noguchi several suspicious locations in the Soul Summoning Society, expressing her suspicion that these places might contain the formation of the Mother Goddess, and she might break it then.

Because Inagaki's statement was not completely confirmed, Noguchi could not directly disclose all this information.

But judging from the seriousness with which the situation is being treated now, I'm afraid it's almost certain.

Yokoyama and his group looked at the Supreme Prayer Group coming towards them, and their originally calm expressions finally showed a slight change.

Ever since some supernatural forces came to the fore, various analyses have emerged.

Although the Supreme Prayer Group is low-key, it has attracted the attention of many people due to its eccentricity. Some people even actively want to join the Supreme's embrace, but they are unable to get in. After all, Miki Inagaki's recruitment conditions are a little bit harsh.

You need to be a mental patient or a normal person who can perfectly integrate with the mental patients and sincerely believe that they are also normal people.

Not to mention, there was actually a fanatic who successfully entered a mental hospital and was absorbed into it, but he was quickly assimilated and fell into infinite worship of the Supreme and the Saint.

Such a price makes many people stay away and they only dare to make a few sarcastic remarks online.

"I didn't expect the Supreme Saint to come here too."

"Isn't this bad?"

"It's nothing. Haven't you seen that the Holy See has begun to advocate seeking common ground while reserving differences and unifying all religions?"

"But they were one family thousands of years ago. The Supreme has nothing to do with us."

"Yes, it is possible. It just requires the effort of the above sentence."

The clergy behind Yokoyama were whispering and talking among themselves.

"Ms. Inagaki, the staff of the shrine will follow your arrangements today, and we will also control the entire shrine to prevent anyone from disturbing it."

Noguchi greeted Inagaki and introduced Yokoyama and his group behind him.

"Don't be in a hurry. It's best to perform the breaking ceremony at noon." Miki Inagaki nodded to the people in the prayer group behind her, and they began to surround the bronze statue of Omura Masujiro, sitting on the ground, muttering something.

Although Yokoyama thought that such an action was somewhat disrespectful to the Japanese God of War, he suppressed his displeasure and tried his best to maintain a calm tone when he remembered the instructions of Miyaji Sakata.

"Since it's still early, Ms. Inagaki, why don't you visit our Yushukan and see the heroic past of our predecessors?" Yokoyama recommended it with all his might.

Miki Inagaki had a blank expression on her face and answered the question irrelevantly.

“Those who fool history will eventually be fooled by history.”

Yokoyama was startled for a moment, and his face quickly turned pale. Even the clergyman behind him looked very unfriendly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"What do you mean by this, sir?" Yokoyama asked in a deep voice.

"I'm just telling the truth. There's no need for you to be angry. Anyway, you and I both need to bear this price." Inagaki Miki shook her head slightly. She didn't take his reaction seriously, but instead looked at the main building in the distance. "The sin is sealed here. It won't become pure because of the noble meaning bestowed by living beings. Besides, there is more filth piled up here. Even a lotus will be stained with stench."

"You - get out, get out! The Soul Calling Society does not welcome you, a traitor, a traitor, a bitch who slanders the Heroic Spirits! I curse you! I curse you on behalf of the Heroic Spirits - ugh!" Hearing the other party's straightforward "insult" that was almost naming names, Yokoyama was furious. He stretched out his trembling fingers, covered his chest, and was furious.
But as he was speaking with his face flushed, his eyes suddenly rolled back, his words stopped, and he fell straight back.

"Lord Palace Secretary!"

"Medicine, get the medicine!"

"I have water here."

"Master Palace Administrator, hurry up and take the medicine."

"You beast! Don't put your dirty hand into the mouth of the palace master!"

The scene suddenly fell into a farcical chaos.

One of the parties involved, Miki Inagaki, didn't even look at them.
